A word or two if I may about the capture of the two ISIS reptiles.

I expect their is.

The reason why I asked for a link is not so much because I am incapable of researching Syria online (which I unfortunately know more about than you do about OOP Encapsulation, my friend) but because I am interested in your chosen source (if it was TV news, than you could just say that) which will frame the scenario in a way that may influence your perception of that conflict.

Answer me this. Twenty years ago, if you were having a conversation at the bar with your friend and he said, 'Of course those ISIS chaps have been captured...' would you have leaned in and screamed, 'LINK!' into his face, or would you have been polite enough to assume, for the purposes of the conversation, that your friend hadn't just made up some random stuff, but was telling the truth?

A: Hello dear, did you have a nice day at the office?

Mrs A: Yes, it was Sarah's birthday and we had a lovely lunch.

A: LINK? LINKYLINKY? i DON'T BELIEVE YOU YOU LYING BITCH!

Easy does it now. See my reply to my Chapman.

I wasn't even shouting. :shrug:

Why should being an authority on Syria be unfortunate A? (apart from such pompous self proclamation making you look a bit of an arse).

Because it is depressing. And yes, I was joking about the authority - I just wanted to show you that I was above the jobbee jokes tbh.
Why is it depressing? Because our government is effectively supporting these scumbags by aiding "fighters" who generally turn out in the end to be ISIS and AQ. Do you believe the bullcrap about Assad using Sarin gas, btw? The 'sources' for these claims are usually the so-called "White Helmets" who are basically a propaganda wing of AQ, and who are supported by MI6 and the CIA.

You'd enjoy this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04b183c

Lots of background info on Syria under the rule of Assad's father and how they were very probably responsible for Lockerbie.
